Tell me something I don't already know. I'm here to learn and share things you and I didn't already hear on NPR or PBS, or read in the NY Times.

My Arthurian name is Sir Wrongalot.
Milk is for babies, whether baby cows (cow's milk) or basy humans (mother's milk).

Drinking cow's milk as an adult was a terrific survival strategy for humans who might have otherwise starved.

It's a great way to get cancer for us.

So obvious.

UNderstanding the role the subconscious plays in undermining our good intentions is critical.

My goto; audiobooks about eating (How not to Die), fitness, drinking(Alcohol Explained), & mindfulness.

Listen to the books *over, and over*

Completely reprograms your subconscious mind.

On a related note: *never* arrive at Costco right at opening time!

When Hanley Ramirez played, he was not generally seen that way. He was known as a phenomenal hitter but also as a defensively shaky shortstop and sometimes a diva or clubhouse headache, not a steady team leader.

I se Stephen Miller and think it's an attack on all that is good in the world.
